Bankstown Service NSW Driving Test Routes

Bankstown is regarded as one of Sydney's busiest and most challenging test centres, notorious for its extremely high traffic density, complex intersections, and unpredictable road users. Test routes weave through dense commercial and residential areas, featuring a significant number of uncontrolled intersections (without traffic lights or roundabouts) that heavily test a driver's observation and gap-selection skills. Main roads like Stacey Street and Canterbury Road are common, featuring high speeds and multiple lanes. A distinct characteristic is the generally "aggressive" driving style of local traffic, requiring candidates to be decisive yet safe. Common reasons for failure include failing to give way correctly at uncontrolled intersections, hesitating when merging, and improper positioning on narrow streets with oncoming traffic.
